    Chocolate peanut butter protein shake. So good
    Jenna L.

    First time here, I was looking for a new gym in the area and signed up for the guest pass to check it out. Valerie greeted me and gave me a tour of the gym. She's awesome!!! I love how there's 2 floors with cardio on both and GROUP CLASSES all days and times of the week. The VIP pass includes tanning, unlimited classes, and specials every month of the year (like 1/2 price protein bars) and stuff like that. TOTALLY WORTH IT IN MY opinion! Favorite part of this gym?! THE PROTEIN SHAKE BAR! And Valerie made me a free shake to try for signing up! I got chocolate peanut butter!! Sooo gooooood! Waaaay better than planet fitness (which I was a member of in the past). Retro is where it's at people.

    No shirt, no regards

    I want to go to the gym, but when you have reckless members and incompetent staff not enforcing hygiene and behavior that affects others- it's hard to

    The 5 stars has to do with value for money, staff, & facilities in general. Ive been coming here for years. I actually signed up before they even opened. I remember when I saw the advertisement ( this is about 7 years ago now) & I came to check it out, it was a huge empty warehouse. The owner showed me around & painted his vision of the gym, I quickly saw the potential so I signed up immediately. It took about 9 months until the gym opened & ive been coming ever since. Im mention this because my review is a long term review, not a quick short term experience like a restaurant meal. Value for Money: Its $20/month with no contract. There is a new owner now (about 2 months ago) and he has been making a lot of improvements & renovations to the gym. For $30 month, there is a new membership that features unlimited classes, tanning, child sitting, & nationwide access. I should note the classes are new, the new owner introduced this. See my photo for classes. Staff: The staff are mostly college students who are friendly around the gym, smile, and greet you when you come in & say by when you leave. Ive never encountered anyone rude here. Facilities: Ive mentioned some aspects of the facilities earlier. A couple of other notes is that I like how things around the gym have their own location & not scattered around. For example, there are sections located for abs, cardio, weight lifting, training. I should also mention that they have a huge theatre with treadmills that plays movies all day. They also just purchased these new bikes that have a gaming aspect to them. The screen displays a simulated bike trail with other bikes to make you feel outside & not stationary ( see photo). There are certainly other gyms with more amenities, but for me, ive never used those, i like the basics...with extras :/

    This is how disgusting the equipment at retro in hackensack is. Horrrible!!!!!!!!!! Stay away from the germs

I first saw an ad…read morefor a free introductory class at this location which is how I learned of them and then I saw that they also have a location at Penn station. For my introductory class, I signed up for their Core Pilates. It was really difficult to sign up. I had a hard time getting in contact with anyone (it took about 4 attempts). But when I finally did, the sign up process was easy. They had a lot of classes to pick from, including Pilates, Barre and cardio classes. I didn't realize when I signed up that this was a reformer class. I usually do mat Pilates, but there were a few other beginners in the class and the teacher was very patient and nice. The great thing about the reformer machine is that you can turn up or turn down the intensity of the workout according to where you're at. It does take more coordination than I'm used to being on the machine, but it was fun! The teacher helped make adjustments so I could get the maximum benefit, which I appreciated. The Hackensack facility was really nice and big. They had complimentary lockers and towels and the changing room and restroom were both clean. The membership is kind of steep at $279 per month, but they do have discounts for 26 years old and under an 65 years old and over at their other locations.

    I really enjoy being a member at The Gym. The space is always clean,…read morethe equipment is modern, and the staff is friendly, but what truly makes my experience special is my trainer Monica. Before working with her, I had never strength-trained. She taught me the mind muscle connection. As a runner with a few imbalances, I really value how she builds in mobility, flexibility, and functional strength so I move and feel better overall. In five months, the progress has been amazing. Monica plans every session thoughtfully, challenging but never overwhelming, and always tailored to my needs. Her coaching style is the perfect blend of clear instruction, supportive energy, and just the right amount of push. What really sets her apart is her holistic approach. As a certified yoga teacher, she brings mindfulness and stress relief into each session, making every workout feel like a full reset. And as a chef with nutrition certification, her advice and meal plans are realistic, sustainable, and never restrictive. I couldn't ask for a better trainer. Monica is knowledgeable, caring, and genuinely dedicated. I highly recommend her.

You need to get the facts straight first before you jump the gun on how friendly Frank was to me because that's simply NOT the case... My ID is 100% valid. Im retired like I told him several times This is what I clearly told Frank a year ago and he said that it was" no issue at all" ..So I ended up coming back to the club a year later to finally join up. He asked me for ID which I showed him, then he started to say oh didn't you come in here a year ago etc, so I said yes I did. He then tells me "oh your ID says retired you can join at the full rate" and "I told you last time that im not giving you the discount we offer ...(that's not true at all ), What he said was that it was NO ISSUE".. He started to examine my ID, hold it up to the light literally about 5 different times ,,,Not sure what that was about...I said Frank, " WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY ID- YOURE EXAMINING IT LIKE ITS A FAKE $100 BILL OR SOMETHING, I said is there an issue?????..and he says " OH NOTHING I WAS JUST LOOKING AT IT. He then continues to say he's not giving me the discount and he told me this last year. I said NO PROBLEM...I was leaving, asked him for my ID back, and he started taking pictures of my ID with his phone... Maybe you can clear that up for me Andrew..what was that about after I said no problem and was clearly leaving the club with my coat on. Why did he start taking pictures of My ID? I mean I could care less that you or him think my ID is not valid, I could care less about any discount, or joining your club..Thats not the point at all.. I just didn't appreciate the way I was treated..PERIOD. Its really as Simple as that..I hope this clears it up for you. My experience was not good.

The membership is $50 a month ($57 if you include all the fees) which is so outrageous to me and that doesn't even include classes?

I would definitely consider returning if they lowered their prices. But compared to other gyms in the area, this just doesn't make sense financially.

Even with the delivery man or with workers who came to fix issues within the building. They were very good about making sure everyone felt comfortable. I did have some issues where the paperwork and the specifics of my contract. We're not always honored. For example, when I moved away, they were trying to charge me however, I had to point out to them a couple times that do the distance I was moving away as per my contract I shouldn't owe anything else. Now it would have been ideal if these were things that they were aware of and not things that I had to remind them of. But overall, I had a very positive experience here. I think if they had increased their hours or offered a more varied selection of gym classes, they could really open up anew Market here.

A bunch of onlyfans wannabes hogging weights and machines just to sit there and take selfies as if the whole world wants to see them. Not one of them was a set.
